Cards of Code: Coding Competition
The Women in Engineering (WIE) Affinity Group, IEEE Student Branch at Jaypee University of Information Technology (JUIT), in collaboration with the IEEE Delhi Section, successfully organized the third edition of its flagship event, “Tech Mavens 3.0”, from September 22nd to September 24th, 2025. This much-awaited annual event has steadily grown in stature over the years, and the 2025 edition witnessed remarkable enthusiasm, participation, and impact.
Conceived as a platform to bring together students from varied academic disciplines, Tech Mavens 3.0 aimed to foster technical innovation, creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving among young minds. At its core, the event sought to promote the vision of IEEE WIE—to inspire, engage, and empower women in engineering and technology, while simultaneously providing equal opportunities for all participants to learn and grow.
A coding battle exclusive for 1st-year students that tested speed, logic, and problem-solving skills.
CARDS OF CODE : CODING COMPETITION STRUCTURE
Tech Mavens 3.0 featured an exciting coding competition : Cards Of Code designed to test the participants' technical abilities and quick thinking:
Round 1: Mentimeter Quiz
The competition began with a Mentimeter-based quiz consisting of 20 technical questions. Out of 20 participating teams, the top 16 teams advanced to the next stage based on their scores.
Round 2: HackerRank Coding Challenge
In this round, one team member was required to code on HackerRank. Teams could swap coders with a –4 point penalty or abort with 0 points, testing both problem-solving and decision-making under constraints.
Round 3: Easy-Level Card Challenge
Each participant selected a random card containing a QR code linked to an easy-level problem. Teams could solve the problem, swap cards with a teammate, or reshuffle the deck. Correct answers were awarded 10 points, blending strategy with technical skill.
Round 4: Medium/Hard-Level Card Challenge
This stage raised the difficulty, with cards linked to medium or hard problems. A medium problem earned 20 points, while a hard problem earned 30 points. The swap and reshuffle options remained, making luck and strategy equally important.
